Ontario Montessori Schools

Montessori schools in all of Ontario's major centers

Montessori in Ontario schools have a half-century history. Montessori has seen growth across the province in the past 50 years and there are now Montessori schools in all of Ontario's major centers. The stronghold of Montessori in Ontario remains Toronto, of course, and schools flourish throughout the GTA.

Ontario Montessori schools listed below are by and large accredited by the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (CCMA) and are thus true Montessori schools if their listing with ourkids.net bears the logo of the CMMA.

Otherwise, parents will have to assess for themselves how much a school truly follows the Montessori philosophy. Since the term Montessori is in the public domain, Ontario's Montessori schools may actually adhere to Maria Montessori's original philosophy to a variation in degree.

Ontario Montessori Schools' long history

Ontario Montessori schools can be said to be the base from which Montessori has spread throughout North America. Helma Trass started the Toronto Montessori Schools in 1961. Trass came to Ontario, grateful for the liberation of her homeland (Holland) by Canadian Forces during World War II. She was one of Maria Montessori's original students and disciples.

In Toronto, Ontario, Trass founded the first Montessori school in North America in the basement of a church in Richmond Hill. In 1971, Trass also started the Toronto Montessori Institute a flagship school for the instruction of Montessori educators.
